This has proved very popular with the public, some of the space being used for temporary exhibitions and small (free) music concerts. The halls also contain a number of bars and cafes. Currently there is free wireless internet (or WiFi) on Level 2 in the Royal Festival Hall.

The Royal Festival Hall is part of the South Bank Center, which also includes the Queen Elizabeth Hall and the Hawards Gallery. Other nearby attractions inlcude the National Gallery, the London Eye, and Dali Exhibition.
